Sulphur I'm the Air.

The quantity of burnt sui phur that
escapes into the air is very great. Seven
and half millions of tons of coal are
annually consumed in London. Now.
the average amount of sulphur in Eng
ish coal is 1 IA per cent. That would
give 90, $50 tons of sulphur burned every
year in London fires. If we consider
that on an average twGe the quantity of
coal is consumed on winter day that is
consumed on a summer day. no less than
BAT tons of sulphur are thrown into the
atmosphere every winter day in London.
This is an alarming quantity, quite sufi-
cient to account for the density of the
fogs in that city. But would it be ad-
visable to diminish the escape of sulphur
from the chimneys? Is it not better to
''bear the ills of the fogs than ''fy to
others" which the absence of sulphur
might encourage? Burned sulphur is
not an unmitigated evil. During the
fogs the air is still and stagnant; there is
no current to clear away the deadly
germs that are being vomited into the
air from the pestilential hotbeds of the
lowest slums. These death laden germs
might be more fatal in the propagation
of the disease if the deodorizing and
antiseptic properties of the sulphur were
not busy at work.-BOstOn Herald.

Not Lazy by any Means.

There is not so much laziness in the
worm as people want to make out. We
all work, but it's always the other people
who are lazy. Now take the case of that
wealthy traveller who lived at one of our
hotels. He did not need to work. He
did not work; but what do you mean by
calling a man lazy who could be the hero
of this story? He had most expensive
suite of rooms and no end of extras. A
friend went up to call on him in the fore
noon and found him just at breakfast.
lie was drinking tea and eating toast and
things. His manner was easy and de-
Gberate. He had finished the cup, and
he looked calmly into it. Then he rose
and walked across the room and rung the
bell. The servant came. <'Ahv' he
said, Walter, I want another cup of
tea. > Certainly, sir, " said the waiter,
and he calmly walked to the table, took
up the teapot and poured the tea into the
cup. THANK you" said the English
man. and went on with his breakfast

A DECREASING sIRT4 RATE.
Some Interesting kacts Concerning the
Growth of the United Kingdom.

Some Interesting kacts Concerning the
Growth of the United Kingdom.
An eminent British statistician, Mr..
Mulhall has contributed some interesting
information lately on the subject of the
growth of the United Kingdom, which
contains, at the same time, many encour-
aging and discouraging facts. Mr.. Mulhall
finds, for instance, that while the popula-
ton of the United Kingdom is increasing
only IL per cent. per decade, its wealth
is growing % per cent. during the same
time, its trade %, and its shipping 81.
In vital statistics it is shown that the
death rate is rapidly decreasing, that
fewer children die and that people live to
much greater age than formerly. But
what particularly strikes Mr.. Mulhall and
alarms him for the future of Great Brit
ain is the fact that the proportion of
births TO the population is steadily de-
creasing and has been decreasing for
years. Births per 1000 of population
fell off about 3 1-2 per cent year in the
period 1SS1-65, as compared with 1876
80, while the marriage rate declined only
1 1-2 per cent.
Mr. Mulhall recognizes the fact that
these figures ''give ground for an appre-
hensiou of physical decadence, and calls
make report upon it at the next session.
Examining the figures by geographical
divisions, he finds that the natural in
crease in population, or the excess of
births over deaths, is at the rate of IA. 3 per
1000 inhabitants in England and Wales,
IL 8 in Scotland and only 6.4 in Ireland.
This IS especially significant in view of
the f2cc that marriages are not as child
les IL Iceland as in England, and more
.t:if,1cn are born to each marriage; but
81 tie ether hand, the marriage rate in
ireland is now the lowest in the world,
and steadily declining in consequence of
the emigration of men and women in the
r:i:1e CT life. The result of this low
L;Tch r2ce is very unfavorable to the
county, the decrease in births amounting
10 5000 per year, as compared with the
last decade.
Such facts as these are always alarm
i2g bet low birth rate seems to come
with civilization and wealth. France has
reached nearly a stationary position in re-
gard to population, the number of births
being just sufficient to keep up the
population. New England has about
reached that state, and it's popula-
ton would in all probability decline but
for immigration, and Mr.. Mulhall s figures
would indicate that Great Britain, which
in the past poured forth millions of people
to colonize the world, is rapidly approach
ing that condition Of physical decadence
where the number of births will be barely
sufficient to prevent decline in the popu-
lation of the country. Orleans
